Boast about your latest purchases here...

[Dexter-morgan]

I wish I could but my parcel has been stuck in the UPS warehouse in Kemptonpark for 10 days and they are absolutly useless in explaining where my parcel is.

 

It contains the two Gravel tyres and SwissStop brake pads I need for the Swartberg Gran Fondo this weekend. Leaving for Prince Albert tonight so if nothing by 10 this morning, panic buying will set in.

That sucks!!

Arrived yesterday courtesy of Dewbro Cycles (thanks Trevor)...NS Eccentric Evo 27.5!!   

[Coolspin]

What are they ??

Eddy, the rear light is a "ryder supercob" is a usb charged light for seatpost mounting.

Multi mode flash or solid, different brightness levels etc great value for money i think.

Cost R250.

 

The white one i got for front to use in flash mode for daytime riding, also has a solid beam but prob not really so great for night riding, I dont ride in dark anyway.

Was cheap at R129 works off 3 aaa bateries i think. Cant recall brand name have binned the box it came in.

 

Both were bought at cycle lab in fourways.

Awesome. I've been trying to get an NS DJ frame from CRC but they keep selling out in minutes. Will give them a shout and see what they have.

It was a difficult choice when purchasing either second hard tail or first ever dual suspension. I am soo glad I went with the Dual sus

[Paul Ruinaard]

where did you get that - looks nice..

 

Not a gimmick, it works well, smaller than I thought which is ideal for chucking in your tool bag for rides. Haven't tried any of the other functions but it definitely looks capable. Is it worth the money, I think so.
